Abstract :
This paper discusses the effects of voltage and frequency variation on squirrel cage induction motor performance. The major focus is the impact on efficiency, thermal insulation life, starting characteristics, reliability and cost penalties. Transient voltages are identified and harmonic distortion issues are addressed. Voltage/ frequency issues associated with adjustable frequency drive applications are beyond the scope of this paper.
